Really enjoyed the game so I did some runs of it
That was quite nice!
pretty fun :D
Well this was fun, a lot of fun !
Thank you for releasing the GBC rom file. Here is my tribute to this wonderful game.
Thanks for playing Shurikix! I had a great time watching you try to beat it.
Nice game
Nice run!
Would love to see this working on the Gameboy Color - would this be possible ?
It is! As of 1.1, a GB rom is now available.
Thank you !!! I did a video posted above - again thank you for this GB rom. :)
Very enjoyable game, sometimes I tear my hair out from the many mistakes I make, but it's good as it is! With 157 deaths, I don't think I'll make the top list, but I made it through. :)
Thanks a lot! You’re 157 deaths away from the world record.
:)
Looks cool! Is there a .gb/gbc rom?
There is now!
Great game! Couldn't resist playing all the way through once I started. Looks good, sounds good, puzzles have decent variety. It was nice that there's no timer (feels chill, yet quick paced).
Controls feel a little slippery (inertia), but am assuming that's intentional and seems like a fair part of the challenge. It doesn't take long to get used to that and start making nudging corrections mid-jump.
Thank you! An update came out to change the slippery controls you mentioned.
A timer was planned for speedrunners but was indeed too stressful for casuals.
